A SUMMER INDUSTRY.
Chicago Women Making Toboggan Caps
for Noxt Winters Trade.


for Noxt Winters Trade.
"That makes over three hundred"
said the manager of knit goods man.
ufacturer, as young woman with a
bundle in her hands closed the door be-
hind her. 81 advertised for women to
do crochet work at their homes, and
I've fairly been besieged with appli'
cants ever since.
"Why, is there special demand for
crochet work in SUMMER"
"TOboggan caps" was the laconie
reply. "You see, we're getting ready
for next winters trade, and, as there
seem to be no signs of the toboggan
craze dying out, we want to lay in a
good stock of the material to fill the
demands of the jobbers. This crochet
work is an excellent thing, by the way,
and there's many family in Chicago
which is entirely supported by it. 1t
doesn't require much skill, and a wo-
man with any aptitude for that kind of
work can easily crochet ten caps in the
course of the day. We pay ten cents a
cap, so you see woman can make a
nice little income out of the work.
Strange to say, however, most Of our
applicants are married women, who are
supported in comfortable style by their
husbands. They have every thing they
want except pin money, and they take
this means of getting it. After all, it's
sort of an amusement for them, too
After their household duties are over
and they find their time hanging heav'
lily on their hands, they can take
out a cap and work on it
Why said woman to me this morn
ing, Il think this is just a splendit
scheme. l don't care if don't make
more than one dollar week; it vii
keep me in ice cream Some firms re
quire the crocheter to make a deposi
before taking the work home, but VIZ
never do. I've been in the business
over ten years, and I've never know
the firm to lose an ounce of material
/ No, the people who do this kind o
work are honest.
At this point buxom young matrol
entered the managers Office leading
little girl by the hand. "Oh, Mr.
-" she exclaimed, 81 want ma
terial for six dozen caps. View,
started society on the West Side, apC
we're going to have capping-bee ev
cry day. It's just too delightful 70
any thing, and I'm going to make eve
so much pin money this summer"
That's just the way it goes" sal,
the manager, after the applicant 70
material had departed. Now, know
that woman. Her husband is hea
clerk in big store down town and get
4 salary of $1,000 a year. She has n
need of money; it's only u freak in whicl
she has induced some of her friend
to participate. They'll soon tire of il
though, and then some one more in nee
of the money will receive the benefit

ENJOYING A NAP.
Some Interesting Comments on the Natu-
raj Position for Slumber.


Passing along the street recently l
saw bootblack enjoying nap. He
had stretched himself across a little
platform on which there was chair
for the accommodation of his patrons,
and, with his legs hanging off the end
of it and his head hanging off the Other
end, he seemed to be enjoying sleep as
very few people in better circum-
stances and better bed ever enjoy it.
But what interested me was the posi-
ton of his head, for it brought to my
mind learned and highly interesting
lecture on the subject of sleep which |
heard several years ago at Farwell
Hail. from DR.. Jewell. The doctor
concurred in the orthodox view that
sleep was the effect of anemia,
or the retirement of the blood
from the brain, and mentioned
good many facts that went
to prove the truth of this theory. For
instance, any ordinary sleeplessn ess,
after lying down at night, may be
cured by sitting up in bed, so that
gravity will encourage the blood tc
leave the head. But all the facts that
can be marshaled of that kind, seem to
be more than offset by the single fact
that the natural position for slumber is
one in which the flow of blood to the
head is greatly facilitated, while il
many cases, as in the case of this boot
black, it goes on interruptedly when
the circumstances all favor congestion
of the brain. Almost every one has
seen man sleep in boiling sun, will
his head down hill. and his stomach
and veins full of alcohol; and a grea
many people have found a cure fol-
sleeplessness in a gentle stimulant o
the circulation before retiring. Tit
truth is that sleep is an enigma to tn
medical profession. The rest of us ar
content to know it. with the poet, a
tired natures sweet restorer, balm

The farmer should closely watch
the condition of his pasture, for his
mich cows, and see to it that they
have all of the pure water they desire;
the careless farmer is very likely to
neglect to keep the spring cleaned out,
but waits until some night his cows
come home dry, then he investigates
only to find, that even the muddy
water has been exhausted, and the
cause in the shrinkage of milk has been
because of the want of good water. II
the flowage of milk is to be kept up,
not only must the cows have all the
good water they need, but they must
also have plenty of good food.

A plat of the townsite of IVA, Laramie
county, was filed in the county clerks
Office yesterday. The proprietor is Geo.
NJ. Cumming, a Union Pacific official.
Depot grounds and the site for a depot
building appear prominently on the map,
though locations are made for no other
public places. 1t is the plan of the
owner to name the streets after trees, as
was at one time proposed in Cheyenne.
The principal thoroughfares are Walnut,
Maple, Cedar and Pine streets. IVA is
just beyond the crossing OF the Cheyenne
q Northern on the Laramie river. and
may figure prominently at no distant day,
as the location is an admirable one for the
erection of a city. Manifold natural ad
vantages are Immediately at hand. and
there are already many small settlements
in that locality. As is usually the case,
the town lots are dedicated to public use.

whoopIng Cough and NInEIc.

A curious display of superstition was
lately witnessed at Maryhill, where
measles and whooping cough were prev
alent. A travelling candy man and rag
gatherer's cart, drawn by an ass, was
standing before u row of houses a little
off the highway. Two women, each the
mother of a child suffering with whoop-
ing cough, took up a position one on
each side of the ass. One woman then
took one of the children and passed it
under the ass belly to the other woman,
the child being held with its face toward
the ground. The second woman caught
the child, and, giving it a gentle somer-
sault, handed it back TO the first woman
over the ass, holding its face toward the
sky. Each child was so treated three
times, after which the ass was allowed to
eat something from the child's lap. Sub
sequent inquiries showed that the moth
ers, whose number had been increased
by two others during the ceremony, were
thoroughly satisfied that their children
were the better for the enchantment.-

And all Skin and Scalp Diseases
speedily Cured bv CutIcura.

Our little son will be four years of age
on the 25th inst. In May, 1885, he was
attacked with a very painful breaking out
of the skin. We called in a physician
who treated him for about four weeks.
The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, sup
posed by the physician to be hives in an
aggravated form, became larger in
blotches, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up in
the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called
other physicians, until no less than six
had attempted to cure him, all alike fail.

and worse, until about the goth of last

Resolvent internally, and the Cuticura
and Cuticura Soap externally, and by the
last of August he was SO nearly well that
we gave him only n dose of the Resell
vent about every second day for about ten
days longer, and he has never been
troubled since with the horrible malady.
In all we used less than one hall OF a bot

calls for a resort to medication. Diseases
of the kidneys and bladder are often of
swift growth-always of fatal tendency if
not combatted at the outset. We have
all-even those of us who are not remark
ably well instructed-heard something of
the danger attending Bright's disease,
diabetes. and other diseases of the kidneys
or bladder. Let no one be ~foolhardy
enough to be inactive. Hostetter's Stom-

this inaction. to sufficiently stimulate,
without exciting the kidneys and bladder.
Infinitely is this diuretic to be preferred
to the impure and fiery stimulants of COM

persons with a tendency to renal troubles.
They are likewise incompatible for dys-
pepsia, debility, fever and ague, and bill
